SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common architectural drift where authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled, duplicated, or leaked into business handlers, leading to security vulnerabilities and maintenance debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Architecture Audit: Validates that root middleware handles session management while API middleware manages entitlement and usage limits.
  • Context Shape Verification: Ensures that request context is consistently populated with user, company, and plan data for downstream consumption.
  • Denial Pattern Enforcement: Checks that the system fails fast with actionable feedback (e.g., upgrade URLs, usage stats) for unauthorized or over-limit requests.

Quick Start

Run the enforce-middleware-layers skill to audit the current API middleware stack and verify that all authentication and entitlement checks are correctly separated from business logic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I separate authentication and authorization logic in my API middleware?▼

API middleware architecture drift occurs when authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled or duplicated, leading to security vulnerabilities. You need layered middleware separation when subscription or plan-based access requires strict request context propagation.

How do I enforce consistent request context propagation for user and plan data?▼

API middleware architecture drift occurs when authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled or duplicated, leading to security vulnerabilities. You need layered middleware separation when subscription or plan-based access requires strict request context propagation.

What is the best way to handle unauthorized or over-limit API requests in a subscription model?▼

API middleware architecture drift occurs when authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled or duplicated, leading to security vulnerabilities. You need layered middleware separation when subscription or plan-based access requires strict request context propagation.

How do I audit my API middleware stack for security vulnerabilities and logic leakage?▼

API middleware architecture drift occurs when authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled or duplicated, leading to security vulnerabilities. You need layered middleware separation when subscription or plan-based access requires strict request context propagation.

Does layered middleware architecture work for backend codebases with strict subscription access controls?▼

API middleware architecture drift occurs when authentication, authorization, and usage logic become tangled or duplicated, leading to security vulnerabilities. You need layered middleware separation when subscription or plan-based access requires strict request context propagation.
